The average American spends 37,935 hours driving in their lifetime, or 1,580 full days of their life. It amounts to 11% of our waking hours. With automated driving, we could learn a new language instead of practicing sign language on those that cut us off in stop-and-go-traffic. Liberty is being liberated from the mundane. Freedom is having a choice of activities to engage in.

I have the freedom to take a nap, read a book, watch TV, catch up on work, have a conversation, or plan an ecomod during my commute now.
I choose not to take the train though, I enjoy driving.
